This low carb pumpkin mousse is a great alternative to pumpkin pie as a dessert and can be made in under 15 minutes.
MY LATEST VIDEOSThis delicious and creamy pumpkin mousse dessert is quick and easy to make. It tastes like a light pumpkin cheesecake filling and is nice served with chocolate chips and whipped cream. You could even serve the mouse in layers in between whipped cream..yum!
Although I used pumpkin spice from a jar you could easily make your own. A great blend for pumpkin spice is 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon all spice, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix them up and voila! You have pumpkin spice! I’ve found that in my travels that a jar of pumpkin spice is not always readily available so it’s always good to have a good home blend mix as a back up. Plus, it gives you a good edge when guests enjoy this pumpkin mousse and you say “pumpkin spice from a jar? No, I make my own”. Or that’s possibly a way to lose friends!
This pumpkin mousse recipe is just so easy that you could happily play about with it too. Add some chopped peanut nuts perhaps? Or a swirl of cream or chocolate? I usually serve this pumpkin mouse with a scattering of low carb chocolate chips.

November 25, 2015 at 10:34 pmMade this and it was disgusting. Sorry but there is absolutely no sweetness to it whatsoever. Nothing like cheesecake and it is by far the nastiest thing I’ve ever tasted ever. Use pumpkin pie filling or something with sweetness the puree alone is awful. Sorry but I spent the money to make this and threw it in the trash immediately. I followed the recipe exactly. Im very sorry, not trying to be rude but I was very disappointed.

November 26, 2013 at 7:09 pmNo, I found the pumpkin puree and cream cheese sweet enough. Feel free to add a dash of sweetner if you want to though!

November 24, 2013 at 10:16 pmSo is that supposed to be a 1 cup of heavy cream?

November 25, 2013 at 7:24 pmYes Pat. We call it double cream, it is referred to as heavy cream. Creamy goodness either way!
